The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is a well-known Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method that is used to identify the most attractive alternative solution among a finite set of alternatives based on the simultaneous minimization of the distance...

Objectives: The purpose of this research is to identify the attributes to include in an orphan medicinal product (OMP) value framework, determine their relative importance via a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) process, and test whether an MCDA approach can practically support decision...

Two shortcomings of existing Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) approaches are presented in this paper. The problems were decision makers' (experts') dynamic level of experience in certain areas, as well as the difficulties of forecasting the future with the existing MADM techniques. A...

This book presents recent advances in the theory and application of the Best-Worst Method (BWM). It includes selected papers from the Third International Workshop on Best-Worst Method (BWM2022), held in Delft, the Netherlands, from 9 to 10 June 2022. The book provides valuable insights on why...

From Optimisation to Multi-Criteria Decision Aid: Three Main Operational Attitudes -- An Algorithm for Combined Quadratic and Multiobjective Programming -- Quasi-Kernels of Outranking Relations -- Existence and Duality in Multiple Objective Linear Programming -- On the Relationship of the...

In the last 25 years, the fuzzy set theory has been applied in many disciplines such as operations research, management science, control theory, artificial intelligence/expert system, etc. In this volume, methods and applications of crisp, fuzzy and possibilistic multiple objective decision...
